4(SOMIBIN ED GARBAGE-BURNER AND WATER-HEATER.

Naeomsb.

To all whom it may concern: Y

Be it known that I, JOHN J. DUB, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, inthe county of Cook and State of Illinols, have invented certain new and useul Improvements in a Combined Garbage- Burner and Water-Heater, of which the following, when taken in connection With the drawing accompanying and forming a part hereof, is a full and complete descri tion sui icient to enable those skilled in't e art to which it pertains to understand, make, and use the same. i

This invention relates to devices used to heat v i'ater and to consume garbage; such devices being arranged so that the heating of the cWater and the burning ol the garbage is effected by the use of fuel, usually coal, in. the fire box of the device when the garbego is placed on a grate arranged therefor above the fire box, and the object of this invention is to provide means whereby the rshell or casing of the device, and the grate of the garbage burning portion thereof may, when desired, all be cast in a plurality oi pieces Which may be readily assembled and secured together; to obtain means where-by the ca pacity of the device embodying this invention may be varied by a variation of the nume ber of the parts used iu the construction Ythereof; to obtain a device which will be bodying the invention.

. device embodying the invention.

in Fig. 3 is used to'form a cart thereoi. 50

economically built, simple, easily assembled,

and readily operated by one not specially `skilled in the managementof heaters or boilers; and to obtain' a device by means oi? which garbage will be quickly consumed without oder,

In the drawing referred to Figure l is a Vvertical sectional `View of the combined Water .heater and garbage burner embodying the direction'indicated by the arrows, and Fig. 6

' s., given part 1s used to indicate such part, throughout the several ligures of the draW- mg, Wherever the same appears.'

A is the base of the device, and is Varranged so that the remainder of the device may be `placed thereon.

B 1s the coal grate of the device.

(l is one oi the sections of the devices-nd comprises the inner Wall l) and the outer wall E, arranged to obtain the water receptacle, or water liefr F therein.

G is section ol the device, and comprises the inner Wall d, the outer Wall and the hollow grate bars H, all arranged to obtain the Water receptacle f with which the hollow grate bars communicate.

l is a section of the device and. comprises the inner wall d", 'the outer wall c and the hollow bars ft, to obtain the water .receptacle f' communicating With the interior of such hollow bars h.

J the fuel door and the aperture through which coal or other like combustible matter is introduced into the fire box K.

il" is the garbage door and j' is theaperturc through which garbage is introducedinto the garbage chamber K.

L is a passage way for the products of combustion, Vforming what may be termed a byucts ol' partial or complete combustion in the fire box to pass therefrom and to the smoke outlet .ld at such tir when the garbage in the chamber li." resting on the grate formed by hollow bars il cholres up the ygrate so that the passage o" such products from the 'fire box K between the hell W grate bars H into the garbage chamber K is prevented. or par tially so. i v

is an aperture in the upper Wall ell section C oi the de'vice` fe, n., are apertures in the end walls ol' sec tion G, and O a like aperture in the lower. end Wall of sec-tion l.

npertures n; and n and apertures n and (Ily Fig. 5; vand Q, Q, are gaskets..

placed between such sections to make the* Licints tbe-reci Water tight.

Rr are water inlets to part C and S is a water outlet to part I.

In the modification illustrated in Figs, 3, 4, and 5, I have used not less than live sections, and more may be used.. These sections are,V lettered C', G', I', I" and I. Du licates of sections I are shown in Figs. 4 an 5. Section C has an inner and an outer wall whereby the water space F is obtained, and has the uel door J and garbage door J thereon arranged to cover the apertures j, j', through which fuel and garbage are, respectively, introduced into theire box K and garbage, chamber K. Sections G and I' are, respectively provided with a hollow grate bar H and with a semi-circular opening through the upper end wall thereof, so that when duplicates of such sections are put toether the smoke outlet M is obtained.

ection I isprovided with a hollow grate bar H' and-also with additional hollow bars 71.', h', to obtain the passage Way L forming a like by passlrom the fuel chamber to the garbage chamber K', as does passage 'way L, Fig, 2, when the'garbage chamber is so iilled. with garbage that the products of combustion in the lire box K cannot readily pass through between the hollow grate bars H', H', into such garbage chamber. 'lhe several sections in this modification are provided with the water inlets and the water outlets O', and with the holes p', through which the bolts I are passed when the sections are assembled, and such sections are held together by such bolts P', when the nuts p',a1'e inplace thereon; In assembling the several sectii .is CCG', I', I, and I" gaskets are putA thereof, and a lire is started in the fuel box,V

with say ordinary coal. Garbage may then be thrown into the garbage chamber. The products of combustion in the fuel chamber will pass therefrom through thespaces between the several hollow grate bars except at times when such spaces are partially or whollyvchoked up by the garbage; and at such times the products of such combustion will pass through the bypass into the garbage chamber, and from thence, together with the products of the combustion of garbge in chamber K', will pass out through. the smoke outlet.

It will be observed that by this construen tion the lire in the fuel lire boX'is at noA time interfered with by the contents of the garbage chamber, while at the same time such connected with the water inlets and outlets of this device to supply Water thereto and convey water therefrom in the same manner as such pipes are connected to ordinary water heaters. The. hollow grate bars H, H', 7L, h', are cast integral with the ihner Walls of the parte forming the garbage chamber ofthe device or they are inserted through such inner walls andA enlarged or otherwise made water tight therein. i

In the construction illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 it is very diflicult when the hollow bars are not integral with the inner walls to make x a water tight joint and hence in such construction it is particularly desirable to cast such bars integral with such parts.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is;- I
